Palazzetto
Introducing the Palazzetto shawl, a stunning half-circle shawl designed for knitters who appreciate elegant and intricate patterns. This unique shawl is worked from the top down, starting at the center, where only a few increase rows will kick off your creative journey. The mesmerizing twisted stitches gracefully flow to the shawl's edge, creating an eye-catching texture. A distinctive horizontal line, designed to appear as though it is knitted sideways, beautifully separates the main body of the shawl from its intricate border.
The Palazzetto shawl features stitch patterns that are provided exclusively in chart form, catering to intermediate to advanced knitters looking to expand their skills.
